attached at the opposite ends of the brush pad. The flexible backing 1 or backing pad 6 will in either case whenthe hand is closed as shown, over cleaning dough, fiex with the closing of the hand, the flexing of the pads l or 6 causing the bristles at the front to be angularly inclined as suggested in dotted lines in Figure 2 so that the line of bristles at the end of the pad will enter into a corner or angle otherwise inaccessible. The use of the .brush in practise is very obvious. `Assuming i The constructionitself is a' simple one and lends-itself readily to economical manufacture. While the specific structural form disclosed represents a preferred physical embodiment of the invention, it may be modified and adapted to different conditions in manufacture and use within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appendedV claims.

What I claim therefore and desire to secure by Letters Patent 4is Y l. A surface brushing attachment-for the back of the hand between the finger bases and wrist comprising a flexible pad shaped to cover the back of the hand from the bases of the fingers rearwardly to the wrist with clearance for the thumb, the front end of said pad having depending finger loops to en circle fingers at their bases, and its rear end having a Wrist embracing strap element.

2. A surface brushing attachment for the back of the hand between the finger bases and wrist comprising a flexible base pad shaped to cover the back of the hand rearwardly from the finger bases and tapering inwardly to the rear to clear the area of the thumb portion of the hand back, the front end of said base pad having transversely spaced depending finger loops and its rear end having a wristembracing strap element, and a flexible brushing pad detachably momted on, and overlying said flexible base pa 3. A surface brushing attachment for the back of the Yhand between the finger bases and wrist comprisinga flexible pad shaped to cover the back of the hand rearwardly from the. bases of the four fingers and tapered inwardly from its front end to clear the area of the thumb portion of the hand back leaving the thumb freely movable, Vthe rear end of said pad having wrist embracing means and the front end of the pad at opposite sides having forwardly extended tubular finger loops depending from the plane of the pad to embrace the first and fourth fingers at their bases, the front edge of the pad intermediate of said loops being cut back to clear the bases of the secondl and third fingers.
